Danny the Dog (also known as Unleashed in some markets) is a 2005 action movie directed by Louis Leterrier, written by Luc Besson (of The Fifth Element fame), and starring Jet Li, Bob Hoskins, and Morgan Freeman.Danny (Li) is a trained assassin, working as an enforcer for his "Uncle Bart" (Hoskins), a low-level gangster in Glasgow. He's kept like a dog in a crate under the floor and wearing a metal collar, conditioned to fight and kill on Bart's orders. When he survives a hit that leaves the gang dead, he stumbles into a blind piano tuner named Sam (Freeman) and his adopted daughter Victoria (Kerry Condon), who take him in and teach him to live like a human. But Bart isn't dead, and he wants Danny back.Not to be confused with the death metal band of the same name. | |

Tempting Fate: After Danny's first fight at the club, Bart declares "I tell you, this is gonna be one lovely day!" Cue the car getting T-boned by a truck and then riddled with bullets. | |

| Danny the Dog / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Danny has been trained (read: physically and mentally abused) to violently attack or kill anyone Bart sics him onto whenever Danny's collar is removed. However, in a scenario where Bart isn't able to take off Danny's collar, Danny just stands catatonically as Bart is beaten up since Bart never trained Danny to fight without having his collar removed. Learning from his previous mistake, Bart attempts to train Danny to attack when he sees a device's red light turning on and buzzing. Still, Danny fails to come to Bart's rescue once again after being distracted, since it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. | |

After Danny beats up all of his men, Bart goes after him with a gun taken from one of his dead bodyguard, a Glock 18C, the compensated, selective fire variant of the semi-automatic Glock 17; the guns' rate of fire so high, Bart empties the gun in a single burst from a standard magazine, forcing him to reload rather quickly. | |

Ax-Crazy: Lefty, most notable in the final scenes when he's allowed to go after Danny, (but is told by Bart not to kill him.) He gleefully disregards Bart's orders and opens fire with a sadistic grin on his face the whole time. When he corners Danny in one of the unoccupied apartments, he beats on the door with his pistols, howling all the while. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: During Danny's first fight at the pit-fighting circuit, he goes up against the reigning champ who shows off his toughness by smashing a brick over his head before the fight. When the fight starts, Danny dodges the champ's first punch, punches the guy a few times in the throat, and walks away as the champ falls down dead from a crushed windpipe. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Danny the Dog / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Danny has been trained (read: physically and mentally abused) to violently attack or kill anyone Bart sics him onto whenever Danny's collar is removed. However, in a scenario where Bart isn't able to take off Danny's collar, Danny just stands catatonically as Bart is beaten up since Bart never trained Danny to fight without having his collar removed. Learning from his previous mistake, Bart attempts to train Danny to attack when he sees a device's red light turning on and buzzing. Still, Danny fails to come to Bart's rescue once again after being distracted, since it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. When Bart is interrupted from screwing a random hooker by Danny (twice), the hookers react like anyone would upon seeing a dirty young man with a dog collar: they leave and are disgusted with Bart keeping Danny like that. One of the people that owes money to Bart is a wealthy criminal who owns a jewelry store and has over twenty henchmen; Bart has Danny beat up said criminal, his men, and trash his shop when he tries to stiff Bart, then beat him up. Then later, he has his men hit Bart's car with a truck then shoot it up with assault rifles. A man with that amount of resources should've been left alone. Bart goes to interrogate Sam's grocer on where Danny lives so he can capture him; initially, she lies that she doesn't recognize him. Then, Bart pulls out a gun. Considering that there are other customers in danger and there's nothing she can do, she sells Danny out due to fear for her and her patrons' safety. After Danny beats up all of his men, Bart goes after him with a gun taken from one of his dead bodyguard, a Glock 18C, the compensated, selective fire variant of the semi-automatic Glock 17; the guns' rate of fire so high, Bart empties the gun in a single burst from a standard magazine, forcing him to reload rather quickly. The reigning champion of the pit-fighting ring learns the hard way that being really big, strong and tough doesn't mean a crushed windpipe won't kill you as quickly and as easily as it will anyone else. | |

Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Victoria is a slightly dorkier and well-rounded one than usual. She's cheerful, friendly, talkative, and knows how to coax Danny out of his shell. She also teaches him how to have fun and enjoy life, such as taking him out for ice cream and teaching him how to play the piano in the evenings. However, she's not without her own troubles, since she admits with pain in her eyes that she misses her mother every day. She also clearly has a life outside of Danny, as she came to Glasgow to go to a fine school, has a big piano recital, and intends to go back to New York once she graduates. | |

Good Old Fisticuffs: Unusual for a Jet Li film, Danny fights using pure, raw aggression rather than technical martial arts moves, which makes sense given his background. His toughest opponent at the pitfighting bar also uses Good Ole Fisticuffs. He simply grabs whatever's near at hand and swings it at Danny's head. | |

Pint-Sized Powerhouse: When Young!Danny saw his mother murdered, he managed to kick a guy hard enough to knock him into a wall. This impresses Young!Bart so much, he kidnaps Danny and turns him into a "dog".

Brutal Brawl | |
| Danny the Dog / int_89b38e67 | comment |
Brutal Brawl: The titular character was raised as a half-feral Dumb Muscle and serves as an extortion tool of a mob boss, so brutal barehanded beatdowns are basically the whole point. It commonly involves bashing people against the walls and furniture, kicks, stomps, and headbutts. Jet Li specifically altered his fighting style to match the role. | |

No One Could Survive That! | |
| Danny the Dog / int_8c96ae78 | comment |
No One Could Survive That!: Bart's car is T-boned by a semi and riddled with machine-gun fire; Danny is only conscious because he was shielded by Bart's body, but only one of his two head goons ultimately survive. Then later, Danny forces Lefty to badly crash another car and roll it with Bart in tow, and everyone survives that crash. THEN a body falls onto and crushes the roof in of yet another car with Bart in the back and one of his goons driving, and Bart survives YET AGAIN. What is this guy made of?! | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
| Danny the Dog / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: Bart during the climax, when Danny inadvertently causes an elite henchman to fall from a high window and smash his car. Thoroughly fed up, he drops his previous I Want Them Alive! mentality and resolves to drag Danny back himself or kill him. He almost shoots Danny in a fit of rage and then screams at him to kill him after Danny beats him to a bloody pulp. | |

Faux Affably Evil: Bart acts all nice and amiable, but at heart he's a self-centered bastard who only cares about improving his standing in the Glasgow underworld. | |

Ship Tease: Danny and Victoria. She comments that "he's cute" when she first meets him, the first time she kisses him on the cheek he's elated, they share a few held gazes throughout the film, she's better able at coaxing him out of his shell than Sam, and when she removes his collar late into the film the two look as though they are about to kiss before she kisses his neck instead. | |
